.......Methanol is common in fruit juice and red wine......
You are in error. First, methanol is a liquid, not a solid. It is not found in red wine, that is ethanol.
Methanol is commonly known as wood alcohol and is sometimes used denature or make ethanol undrinkable.

You need to look up grape pectins and the extended maceration on skins. When you do that you'll find out you're wrong.
All fermented foods and beverages will contain some methanol. It's these kinds of misunderstanding that are responsible for the irrational fear of food. That fear is very helpful to those trying to extract more of the tax money you send to the fedgov.

Here's a link to a chart that shows the methanol and ethanol content of alcoholic beverages. Nearly all alcoholic beverages contain some methanol.
